About: I’m a lifelong cat lover with 12+ years of hands-on experience caring for my own cat, who recently passed away after a wonderful life. While I’m not ready to adopt yet, I’d love to care for yours. I’ve fostered a shelter cat, cared for a friend’s cat for about a year during COVID, and have cat-sat for friends many times. I also have some experience with dogs through friends—walking them together, spending time at dog parks, and playing with them at home. I’m comfortable around dogs of different sizes and personalities. I work from home full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. Depending on your pet’s needs, I can easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine and ensure your cat receives consistent attention, companionship, and care. I live in a house with a calm, cat-friendly environment and understand that every cat has its own personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your cat enjoys playtime and attention or prefers a quiet, predictable space, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for during their stay.
“Blanca was an amazing caregiver to our two dogs while we were in Hawaii. She kept us updated with pictures and videos of them playing, chasing the ball, enjoying pets and scratches. We would definitely recommend Blanca and will 100% use her in the future!”
“We recently hired Mason to take care of our Labrador, Jet, while we were away, and we couldn't be happier with his service. Mason was professional, caring, and went above and beyond to ensure Jet was well looked after. He provided us with regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind. Jet clearly loved spending time with Mason, and we returned to a happy and healthy pet. We highly recommend Mason to anyone in need of a reliable and loving pet sitter. He is truly a five-star caregiver!”

“Brooklyn was AMAZING! My cat usually takes a while to warm up to, but Brooklyn was able to do that in one afternoon! Communication was perfect, she provided us with adorable photoshoots of her drop-ins, and she was very timely and reliable! Her vet tech experience provided reassurance that my pet was in amazing hands, and her professionalism was an additional perk.”

“Tiffany was wonderful with our two dogs and cat and gave great reports and photos. We will absolutely be using her in the future for more drop in visits when we’re out of town!”

About: Hi! I’m Renata, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved at all times. I pay close attention to their needs, give lots of affection, and provide walks or playtime to keep them active and joyful. Your dog will also enjoy my large backyard, perfect for running, playing, and exploring safely. Whether it’s boarding in my home or daily walks, your dog will feel comfortable, cared for, and truly at home. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I’m available to care for your furry friend in the afternoons and evenings starting at 4:30 PM on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. I’m free all day on Wednesdays and Sundays, so I can give your dog plenty of attention and playtime! My home is a safe and secure environment for dogs. I have a large backyard where your furry friend can run, play, and explore safely. I also have a 7-year-old Pug who is very calm, enjoys socializing with other dogs, and respects their space. I make sure every dog feels comfortable and confident while in my care, giving them love, attention, and plenty of supervision at all times.
About: As a performer who travels the world by sea, I know how comforting the love of an animal can be and while I’m away I miss that connection so much! I have loved, snuggled, and pet animals around the world and while I’m back on land I would love the opportunity to give your pets the same attention! I’ve had dogs my whole life and grew up in a home full of furry friends. My parents volunteer with Duo Dogs, so our house has always been a revolving door of puppies and big dogs alike. Two of our English Labs are especially sensitive to fireworks and thunderstorms, so I’m no stranger to calming anxious pups with patience, love, and a gentle hand. Whether it’s a walk around the block, a game of fetch, some cozy snuggle time, or maybe it’s your turn to get out and see the world, I’m here to keep your pets happy and cared for while you’re away. My schedule is wide open during my time home-so don’t hesitate to reach out and let’s set something up! Since I am taking a land break, my schedule is very open! I enjoy my time at the gym, but other than that I don’t have many routine commitments. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I offer care in your home where your pet feels most secure and relaxed. I always follow your instructions closely, respect your space, and treat your home with care. You can trust that your pet will be loved, safe, and well looked after while you’re away.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for 15+ years! I grew up with 2 dogs and went on to be a dog mom for 2 of my own. I also supported friends with their dogs on the side and have experience with both small and larger dogs. I am very comfortable with taking care of and treating your dogs like they are my own! My schedule is open and flexible right now, allowing me to be available after 9am on weekdays and available 2 weekends each month. My schedule is open to change for house sitting needs. Safety and trust are my top priority! Your dog will always be supervised and have my full attention. I'm very attentive to your pets feeding schedules, medications, routine activities, and special care instructions. Communication is key and I ask that all your dog’s unique needs are discussed beforehand.
“Our normal sitter had a family emergency right before the holidays, and we are so thankful we found Kate in time for our kitties! Two of them need daily medications, and we have had hit or miss luck with different sitters (not from Rover) in the past, but all the cats loved her (even the one that normally hides!) and they all seem to be very relaxed and not panicked when we got home this time! We will absolutely be using her in the future and recommending her to friends in the area!”

“This was my first time using a pet sitter and it couldn’t have gone any better. Danny and Jennifer were wonderful! They’re very communicative and let me know exactly what was going on with my older dog and sent lots of pictures. It really set my mind at ease knowing she was being so well cared for. 10/10 would highly recommend them.”

About: There’s nothing like the love you receive back in a single look. I’ve had dogs my entire life—being a pet lover is simply part of who I am. To me, they’re not just pets—they’re a special part of our lives. With 13+ years working in a pet care company and over 2 years fostering 21+ dogs, I bring both professional expertise and real-life experience. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, personalities, and needs—both small and large breeds, from 9-week-old puppies to senior dogs. I’ve also regularly cared for dogs of neighbors and friends, building trusted relationships within my community. I understand that leaving your dog with someone else is a big decision. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your dog is safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. I’m patient, attentive, and especially comfortable helping dogs adjust, feel at ease, and build confidence. I truly love how every dog is unique—their personality, their energy—and getting to know each one is something I genuinely love. At home, I have two well-trained dogs—Valentino (Golden Retriever) and Romeo (Australian Shepherd)—who help foster dogs learn positive behaviors and feel comfortable. I treat every dog as my own, making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and happy—so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. I’m available for walks Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 2:30 PM, and generally on weekend mornings. My schedule allows me to provide consistent attention and reliable care during these hours. I aim to follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible, so they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. I can be flexible for additional times when needed—just feel free to reach out and we can coordinate what works best for you and your dog. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, structured, and loving environment where dogs can feel secure and at ease. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and two well-trained, friendly dogs—Valentino (Golden Retriever) and Romeo (Australian Shepherd)—who help create a balanced and positive environment, especially for dogs who benefit from socialization. With my background fostering over 21 dogs, I’m experienced in reading dog behavior, managing different temperaments, and helping dogs adjust smoothly. I can also follow specific instructions such as crate training, feeding routines, or medications if needed. I treat every dog with care, attention, and responsibility—so you can feel confident your dog is in safe and capable hands.
“Alexandria took great care of our kitties while we were out of town! We have some finicky eaters and one who needs meds, and she didn’t have any issues with them. She was also kind enough to take our garbage cans from the curb and get the mail. I would highly recommend her!!”

“I am very grateful to Damica for helping out with my Papi Chulo for 4 days on such a short notice. Also did an amazing job on communication and keeping me updated on all events, I would definitely work with her again 👍🏾”

About: I have been a professional dog trainer (AKC) and CGC certified trainer for many many years (10+ years).

I have been watching animals for a long time and recently opening up my home to more clients. I have a large dog and small dog in my home as well as a very sleepy old cat. If your dog needs to be the only dog I can make arrangements for my dogs to be gone at grandparents :) The yard is fenced and dogs are only allowed out with supervision so they are always with me...I want to have fun and bond with your dog and ensure their safety and fun!

I care after your pet the same way you would, with love care and full of safety.

Kayleigh took such great care of my dog during her drop-in visits. She was incredibly flexible with my scheduling requests which made everything so much easier. I could tell my dog really enjoyed spending time with her and looked forward to seeing her. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in caring and reliable hands!

We had a wonderful experience with Cynthia. She was friendly, attentive, and took great care of our dog while we were away. Communication was excellent throughout the entire stay, and she kept us updated, which gave us peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our dog and made sure all of her needs were met. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.

It is so so clear that Beth loves our fuzzy babies—and they love her right back!!! She is a wonderful communicator and gentle as can be, playing with our two VERY high-energy spaniels. When we come home after they’ve been with her, they’re relaxed and totally unstressed. Thank you!!!

Gloria was absolutely wonderful while I was away. She was punctual, reliable, and communicated clearly throughout my entire trip. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos, it gave me total peace of mind knowing my dogs were happy and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Gloria again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring dog walker.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Ellisville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Ellisville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Ellisville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
